Plum is about Prevention.
Its application can be as flexible and imaginative as the circumstances need it to be. Although Plum has
its own set of aims and objectives, mainly based around successful outcomes, every organisation will use it to suit
specific situations, long or short term
What are the benefits of Plum?
Plum mixes people with business process.
For many, Plum will bring about culture change, shifting the way things are done. This automatically changes the relationship with the customer allowing people to share understanding and take responsibility. Plum focuses on delivering the right message through careful communication and clean language making sure that messages are clear from the very beginning.
How does Plum work?
Plum reinforces success.
Although enforcement and penalties remain an essential part of your business, Plum balances this with the opportunity to succeed. Plum reinforces success by helping to define what success actually means to your business. It could be reward or positive action. Plum also promotes dignity through responsibility, working together, sharing information and understanding how people and systems respect one another.
What might Plum look like?
Plum’s exact shape will be slightly different every time. Its success reflects local issues. What Plum will do is create a strategic
way of influencing people and stopping the wrong influences. Plum must convince people that the positive relationship rests with your
business services and that problems can be resolved earlier. Plum’s final shape will describe how this is achieved.
It might be time to pull out a Plum.
